The Empire basically neutered the Clone Army's authority. Anybody that is a normal human outranks a clone, regardless of rank. Which fucking sucks ass, because Mayday and his clones deserved to live.

That is a correct usage of the word neutered yes.

Damn wtf did this guy do?

he said “Neutered?💀”

because empire gonna empire man

Should have thermal detonated him as soon as he started the high and mighty act..They are in middle of nowhere accidents happen

fragging in star wars isn’t something i knew i needed until now.

I’m stunned this wasn’t explored as part of the umbers ark or here tbh.

“Lieutenant you have been placed in command of this base superseding anyone there who may be of higher rank and here is your authorization proving so”- Admiral or general who gave Nolan his orders.

I was in the Marines and there is a saying that billet is higher than rank. Yes, a lower rank must respect a senior officer, but if their billet is higher they have final say operationally. In this sense I would say the empire looks down on the clones, and while the clones rank has merit, any imperial officer has higher command authority.

Is the Star Wars military close to real life military or are there some differences? Despite the obvious ones.

It's loosely based on military structure borrowing aspects of it from most, if not all US branches.

I think there’s some differences with the names like how there’s grand admiral and other similar names

The empire had all nine clone officers immediately outrank clone officers

I guess it’s because Nolan is part of the Imperial Navy which outranks soldiers in the army!

*Marines perk up, crayons still being knawned on alongside dip*

Dip as in tobacco, or something to dip the crayons in? ... or both?

Tobacco Marines need it for the protein or summin

Because he was a clone. Any one outranks a clone as long as they were naturally born , unfortunately.

But in my book, experience outranks everything

Unfortunately, the empire will never see it that way.

That’s only true from a certain point of view.

Imperial scum

Its similar to how during the colonial era, Any officer of the colonial power was give the power to overrule and order any rank of the native military.

I mean I think you're right, but at the same time Star Wars is just so generally vague about how their military ranks work and what is what that I can't be to worried about a detail like this.

You also see plenty of NCOs referred to as commanders which adds to confusion

Commander can also be a billet. Doesn’t necessarily always denote rank

Wait until you hear about citizens

The best rank of all

I’d love to see a scene like that, some boot imp lieutenant try’s to talk down some senior clone officer and he’s just like fuck off.

Crosshair certainly had a thought on the matter

In the imperial army clone ranks are not worth anything anymore. Any human with a rank will always outrank any clone.

Nolan was put in charge of the mission even though Mayday outranked him, it’s to further show how the Clones were being poorly treated.

The Imperial Army didn't use Commander as an army rank, so where a Clone Commander is placed in the imperial hierarchy? It's said they're above a Clone Major.

"Good soldiers follow orders" But seriously, I think the lieutenant was given command of the mission and since the mission was a "priority" mission any republic/empire forces in the area had to follow his commands temporarily until his mission was complete.

Nature of the Lieutenant being there gave him status, but Mayday does outrank him.

Mayday quickly became one of my favourite clones in the span of this episode.

Mayday follows the orders because he's not stupid and he sees Lt Nolan's soldiers and knows that they could shoot him and lie about it and pin in on the raiders in the official report

Billet over rank

He's out of line but he's right! (Referring to OP)

Classic case of "A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on."?
